Connecting a Console
To connect a console to the
switch, follow these steps:
1.
Connect the PC or
terminal to the switch’s
Console Port using the
console cable included
with the switch. (If your
PC or terminal has a 25-pin
serial connector, first
attach a 9-pin to 25-pin
straight-through adapter
at one end of the console
cable.)
2.
Turn on the terminal or
PC’s power and, if using a
PC, start the PC terminal
program.
3.
Press Enter two or three times and you will see the copyright page and
the message “Press any key to continue”. Press a key, and you will then
see the switch console command (CLI) prompt, for example:
SMC TigerSwitch 10/100#
If you want to continue with console management of the switch at this time,
see the next section, “Getting Started With Switch Configuration” for some
simple configuration steps, and refer to the
Management Guide
that came
with your switch for more detailed configuration information.
